Equatorial Guinea's performance in this Africa Cup of Nations has been poor. They suffered two consecutive defeats in the group stage's first two rounds without scoring a goal. In the second round, they lost 0-1 to Sudan, with defender Saul Coco scoring an own goal. They were eliminated a round early due to inferior points and head-to-head records. Their recent form has been declining, with three consecutive losses in all competitions. Their offensive struggles are a core issue; the absence of key scorer Nsue has significantly reduced their finishing ability, with an average of only 0.8 goals per game in the last six matches. Algeria boasts a star-studded squad, with numerous players in Europe's top five leagues. Their attacking group, led by Mahrez, possesses top-level finishing capabilities. However, the team has some concerns, with key midfielder Aouar injured and Jawen Hadjam and Sami Chergui suffering minor injuries in the last match. Coach Vladimir Petkovic is very likely to make extensive rotations in this match, resting key players like Mahrez and Bennacer. Algeria's primary formation is a 4-2-3-1 control-possession system, with emphasis on attacking through the flanks and set-piece attacks. Even with rotations, the team's depth is sufficient to support tactical execution. Match Prediction: Algeria to win.
